Compte-tenu de ton niveau en dessin y a vraiment pas de quoi Γͺtre jaloux des miens, surtout celui-lΓ ! x)
Je suis pas vraiment satisfait du résultat avec celui-là , je voulais jouer sur le contraste ténèbres/lumières, mais j'ai pas l'impression d'avoir donné suffisamment "vie" à cette peinture.

This is undoubtedly beautiful you really captured just how dark it must've been on that moonless night; you can practically feel the hopelessness choking you as you see the passengers and crew scramble through the dimming lights to get to the lifeboats.
If I may give you some critique, however, The only thing wrong with this angle is that the ship had a list to port, not starboard, when going down by the head.Β

There is a video that explains this rather well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs9w5bβ¦

Oh, yeah! I recently managed to watch it all the way through since I decided to take personal notes on the ship and it's short yet impacting history. Turns out you were right! There was aa slight starboard list before boiler five gave away. After that it righted itself. THEN there was the list to port when Scotland road flooded. I also learned that the bulkhead between boiler rooms five and six didn't give away despite the fire. BUT, that it may have been a coal bunker door, in the very place where the fire started!

Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you appreciate this artwork. I did my best to depict what survivors may have seen.
I know the ship had a list to port at some point because of Scotland Road, but if I remember correctly, some survivors actually said the ship had a list to both port and starboard side during the sinking; I think the ship would probably had a starboard list at first because of the collision, and then a portside list when Scotland Road started to be flooding. At least it seems logical to me, but I may be wrong. I wish we could know how it exactly happened.

Huh. Never thought of that before. that would seem obvious, now that I think about it. Not sure if that list would be that great compared to the port list but I see where you're getting at.

Yes, I might have made the starboard list a bit too exaggerated on this artwork in comparison of the port list the ship had at the end of the sinking.

It seems like I was on a lifeboat seeing the unsinkable floating palace dying beneath the waves

Thank you for your comment!
I really did my best to represent the sinking as it probably was in real. In fact I made this painting while having in mind all the survivors accounts of the disaster, describing the night as being pitch black, with only the lights of the ship visible, and the stars on the sky.

Why is there not more comments on this yet?!?! It's so beautiful and so sad all at once. Your painting technique is amazing, and I love the soft haze you put around the lights.

I don't really know, well maybe because I'm not a very well-known artist.
Working on this painting was both great and sad, because I had to keep survivors accounts in mind while making this artwork.
Thanks a lot again! Glad to see you appreciate my artworks, it means a lot!

I really, truly hope you do get well-known one day, because you absolutely deserve it in so many ways.
I can definitely imagine it must have been sad; when I've done drawings in the past myself, I often consider that also and it truly is a very mentally-tiring thing. But, considering it, I think, makes the art true to life with your feelings.

Thank you very much for the kind words, it means a lot to me.
I agree, this is really a special feeling which adds something to the artwork, even tho it might be very sad while working on such a tragic subject.
